How Do iPhone Gloves Work?

Gloves that work with your iPhone have silver thread woven into the glove.

This enables you to make a connection with your touchscreen device.

Now, don't get all freaked out thinking that these gloves will be rough or itchy - they're not. The strings of this silver thread is very, very fine. They do the trick, but YOU feel like you are wearing a normal pair of gloves.

They also do NOT scratch your iPhone or anything like that. They're warm and soft - and actually help PREVENT smudges and fingerprints on your phone or gadget.

Now, if you don't want a set of NEW gloves....

There are also little texting dots you can add to normal gloves you already have. While these work, they only give you very specific points of contact to work your gadget.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! For the next 7 days, I will be asking my readers to share a blog post of theirs in the comments here so I can pin it to one of MY boards on Pi...

Can You Make Your Own Texting Gloves?

You sure CAN make your own iPhone gloves!

Other than buying a new pair of gloves or those texting dots to stick on, you can also get some of that metal-like thread and sew it into any ol' pair of winter gloves.

Again, it's not a perfect solution, but just might be "good enough".

Here's a video showing how to make your own touchscreen gloves.

iPhone Gloves and Oprah?

Oh yeah, Oprah certainly is on the iPhone gloves kick too! Once she realized how awesome they are, she added them to her famous Oprahs' Favorite Things list for Holiday Gifts under $50.

The pair Oprah picked is the red pair shown on the right. They also come in other colors - pink, black, tan, and gray.

Note: The Iphone compatible gloves I have are a bit different from these Oprah likes. The pair Oprah picked only has sensors on the thumb and index finger. Mine have sensors on all fingers (not sure it matters to you, but thought I'd point that out).

Care To Elaborate? Speak your mind here!

I can barely walk and chew gum so using my phone while driving is TOTALLY out of the question for me (law or no law... it's Jennifer's Law...lol!), but just being able to change the radio station in my car without taking my gloves off is a BIG plus for me.
